I mean you can have your opinion on the acting or choice of actors or director and all, but as far as "absurd," "gratuitously gross," "pornographic" etc... I'm kind of baffled. Because it was pretty much a frame-for-frame remake of the graphic novel until the very end. It did have some really crazy shit in it that kind of shocked me. But that crazy shit was in the book.
I know that I'm in the minority on this one, but I'm always kind of confused when people say that they hate the movie but love the book. I'm not sure how else the movie could have been made honestly. It generally seems to me that those that seem so against Watchmen already were so before seeing it. Meaning, I tend to think some folks just don't want Watchmen to have been made into a movie and were going to hate it no matter the outcome.
Of course, your opinion is your opinion and as I said above - it seems to even be the popular one. But when I watched it I didn't feel like it was acted poorly or corny or dim-witted or anything. I just felt like it was a rather faithful adaptation of the comics... and that was really all I would have hoped for honestly.
